As for the spacer, I've had mine on for 10 years now and the ONLY issue I had was when I let a tire shop mount my rear tires.....they failed to properly torque the spacer correctly with the inner wheel, and less than 300 miles later, all 8 lugs snapped on my rear end when exiting the highway! I NEVER let anyone torque my rear wheels anymore....I do it myself and make sure everything is well positioned and use a torque-stick to make sure we're firmly attached. Again, having over 68k miles on this setup so far. Also, I drive up to 14 miles in each direction on a deserted island for fishing with tires down to 20-25psi and never had a tire come off the rim. Slow driving is the key. Again, XPS Michelin tires are steel walled and very rugged.
Okay..so you mount your own rears? This is not me..I am a shop guy. Maybe I could find a shop that would take this on. I live in aa place that has a few shops that tend to be adventurous.
